It's Official

They finally posted the weekend work schedule, and it's official.  The lines are going to be off.  Of course, the notice always says "Component Areas:  See Your Supervisor", but I'm pretty sure we'll be off, too.  At least, sub-brazing will, because our numbers are pretty good.   I know the fin press and autobrazer will be working, and probably sheet metal, too.  I guess Uncle Supervisor will tell us tomorrow. 

What I've heard is that they need to cut the water off to the back of the plant so they can run the plumbing for the new bathrooms they're building back there, but that's just rumor so take it for what it's worth. 

With that in mind, I went ahead and did my shopping today, so tomorrow I can come home and put my tiller together without having to worry about errands and such-like.  While I was there, I bought myself a new food processor.  

To be honest, this one wasn't my first choice.  I'd looked through the Walmart app and picked one out that was a three cup, but I couldn't find it anywhere.  The app said it was in stock, but I didn't even see a spot on the shelf for it, so I went to my second choice.  Eh, it's a bit bigger than I'd wanted, but it'll do. 

Now, the next time I want to make pesto, I'll be all set.  I just need a week or two for my basil to catch up. 

I also bought another skein of that Red Heart Bitty Stripes in the Crayon Box colorway, since I used most of the last one knitting the baby surprise jacket.  I won't post a photo.  If you want to see what it looks like, just scroll back a post or two. Though I'm tempted to knit another baby sweater, this one is intended for charity hats. 

On the other hand, maybe I will knit another baby sweater -- to have on hand for future great nieces and nephews, you know.  

OK, I'm back after a quick break.  I hadn't intended to put my tiller together until tomorrow, but wanted to check the packing list to make sure I had all the parts.  Once I got it all out of the box, it took only five minutes to put it together.  

And there it is. 

 

I won't try it out until tomorrow, because a) I've already taken my shower for the day, and b) it rained while I was putting it together.  Not a lot, but enough to make the dirt just a bit muddy.  Hopefully it'll be dry by tomorrow afternoon.  

And finally, I keep forgetting to tell you Stalker fired a second brazer last week, and he is plumb thrilled about it.  He's been walking around in a ...um...state of excitement...ever since.  So to speak.  Alas, that was before HRH left and The Warden announced he was leaving.  

Now Stalker seems nervous.  Without the buddy system protecting him, his job might be the next one on the chopping block.  

We can hope, at least.
